ONCE AND LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE

Doctors were able to lower your high blood pressure with the help of radio waves.
The process could be a permanent cure and provide a lifeline for thousands of patients who do not respond to medication.
Radical treatment is based on exposure to radio waves kidney could become a drug for high blood pressure, according to a survey.

High blood pressure is a risk factor of heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Changes in lifestyle, such as reduced salt intake and alcohol and regular exercise, can control blood pressure. Patients are available and the number of medications.
But many who are taking medication, as many as five different types, still have problems with pressure. It is a group which has not medicine could help.

Professor Mark Caulfield, who was involved in the research, said: ‘I hope it will become available later in April 2013, this technique will help high-risk patients. “

THE BEAM OF RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
The technique uses a beam of radio frequency energy delivered through the catheter to the tiny nerves that are located around the kidney arteries. Specifically, high blood pressure is sometimes caused by poor signaling from the brain to these nerves. Testing techniques showed that the pressure remains reduced at least 18 months after treatment.

Long-term follow-up of those who have undergone these procedures, so far shows no ill effect. High blood pressure is one that exceeds 140/90 millimeters of mercury. The new study involved more than 100 patients who had blood pressure readings of 178/97 at least, despite the fact that they are taking three or more medications daily.

Professor Caulfield, the William Harvey Research Institute at Queen Mary College in London warned that the procedure does not work in all patients. And Professor Peter Weisberg of the British Heart Foundation said it should be used only by those who have unsuccessfully tried a variety of medications.
